Comment:

 I like this idea. Would be useful to almost any BP installation.

 I agree that it'd be interesting to attempt validation between user names
 and certain website types - I've built this already in
 https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-social-media-profiles - but it adds
 several layers of complexity. (Not the least of which: which do we
 include? What's popular in the US is not necessarily in China; what's
 useful to a group of programmers is not useful to a group of students; etc
 etc etc)

 That said, a more general URL field would be a starting point for a plugin
 that does what bp-social-media-profiles does, but more elegantly.
